@Glenn: You wouldn't need many Republicans to defect at all to get something through the house. The majority is slim. 17 Republicans would need to defect if every Democrat supported the bill.

Realistically you would probably need more like 25-40 Republicans to defect because some Democrats wont go along with an AWB.

I am more worried myself about a magazine ban, I think unless we keep a lot of pressure on our reps a mag ban by itself could get through.

@ Tomm: I am with you, #4 is the only really worrysome thing to come out of all those EO's. I don't like the idea of Eric I Don't Think Anyone Should Own Guns Holder somehow making modifications to who can and cant own guns.
